Tsaress Trips

Two Towers Premiere
11th December 2002

What an day I shall start from the beginning I had been on the net till one am silly person that I am had things to do didn't I had to check stuff. I got up just before 7am and after a good rush round and a quick look at forum and emails just in case I was off. Got to the bus stop in plenty of time the bus how ever did not and the bus was meant to get to leeds for 8.30 turned out to be 8.55 I ran for it just got my 9.05 train. I was so tired already an friend from bb.net was also on the train and after a short sit I look up and see her looking at me. We talk for an while getting all excited then when we get to London I go to met my friend who's place I am staying at that night. He's not a fan but I will change him. We go staight to Leciester Square and they is already a lot of people some I know had been there since 7am or earlier. It was about 12.30 when we got there. We were all very excited I saw many people I know from the net including people from Head and Tale Pub forum it was really nice to see everyone in person so much fun. We were all stood round and it was very very cold. It all became an bit mad when the barries went up but still we recovered. About 6pm Paul Ross started to do some shooting it took us a while to work that is was him as at the time he had an gandalf outifit on. It all made us laugh as he got the crowb to shout for his piece to the camera again and again as the same secrity guard went past what must have been 4 times. Then all we had to do was wait yet more time. It seemed a long time for everyone to start to turn up we all thought it started at 7pm but it turned out to be 7.30 not many b list celeb's either I had to ask all the time who the people were. I did how ever see Eddie Izzard one of my fave comdian's who od course didn't hear me shout his name damn.The it all started to happen

Howard was the one of the first LOTR people we noticed and he gave me an autography nice guy that he is. Some other people didn't even really know who he was we of course all did and I said I love the new music Howard. He asked my name and I told him but he also asked how to spell it my friend laughted and I said C A T. I thought cat would have been easier for anyone to sign I think he just wanted to be sure that it was just right he was very patient and I was so happy that I met him.

Then Peter Jackson came man is he got such a responce everyone was shouted his name my friends got his autography but I just missed out he was very nice and it was so great to be just feet away from a guy who brought this book alive for all of us. At times he did look an bit scared though. Then Karl came so nice to see an new face an few people didn't know who it was but he soon came over to us and I got an autography from him which I was very happy with. We could see a few others arriving although they didn't come over to us Bernard Hill being one didn't seem to sign any autography's. A few people said they had seen Miranda Otto pass. Everyone was now getting very restless where were the guys. Not even any b list celebs to look at. Then Billy came you could hear the shouts stretching all around. The crowd pushing to get a closer look and try to get him to come over. It wasn't seeming to work but then who do I spot but Dom my heart is light they both are signing autographys now just time to shout a bit and wait. It works here comes Billy no autography but he he's still just feet away from me. Now I can see Dom better he's messing about and he's coming our way my friends are getting they books signed and I keep mine out but no luck. I take my chance "Dom did you have an nice birthday" I wait nothing but then without even looking up he say's "Very nice thanks".Well he didn't really look at me but still feet away. A few others came past a missed out on Andy and Brad but I think a lot of people were disappointed that Elijah and Orlando didn't turn up. A very rushed Sean Astin went past with his wife Christine Sean has lost a lot of weight and he looks great for it. John Ryans Davies did come up and say he would sign autographys later which was really nice of him. It was hard to see seems that a lot of the actors were rushed along at an high speed which was a real shame. Liv came along next then it was real kaos I just couldn't move and I was then pushed to the 4th row back damn. Liv was soon rushed off then a space were everyone chatted to each other then someone shouted Cate oh dear was she late I didn't even get to see her she rushed in that quick. Then that was it I talked with others about weather they were waiting for them to come out or what. Then we saw all the cars move to outside the cineam then what should happen but they all come out again well most of them John Rhyns Davies was first who did like he said he would and worked his was down both sides of the crowd signing. What an great guy so kind and he still looks very ill everyone was so happy to see him. The other guys started to come out I think it was only Karl that gave out an few autographys.The others rushed off but not before I managed to take this picture of Billy just before he catch that hat flying at him. The hat was from a very happy couple of fans holding an scottish flag high in the air.
